The global reason why we have less people is because we need less people.
That's all there is to it. Larger number of children does not give any advantage to family nowadays.
That's why there is huge "family" propaganda business in US. People who try to sell crap to people need more consumers, while on the other hand the only conditions that stimulate people to have more children are removed.
Give women nothing else to do than raising children and you will get more children.
"stunningly accurate" is the typical lingvo of Science and Nature. They must to live up to expectation of being leading general science journals.
Basically it's journalism. That's what they became. Good journalism of the past, like BBC or WaPo, became tabloidal. I do not even want to think what tabloids have become.
Islamic State rose as off shoot of Al Qaeda when Zarkawi wanted to stop attacking abroad and start concentrating on local front.
Despite that obviously good turn for the "fighters with terrorism" they lashed at IS in the manner they have never lashed at Al Qaeda before.
Because it's not a war on terror, it's war on Islam. Islamic State created a functioning government, and attracted 40,000 people from 80 countries (BBC). That what scared clown Obama.
That's why Mosul, Kirkuk and Raqqa were bombed into the ground.
This phrase is never used when there is a real science. It used only for politically favored modeled outcomes in very complex systems.
Nobody uses the phrase "scientific consensus" when it is actually achieved: when series of definitive experiments are carried and then carried again and again.
>The Chernobyl Forum predicts that the eventual death toll could reach 4,000 among those exposed to the highest levels of radiation (200,000 emergency workers, 116,000 evacuees and 270,000 residents of the most contaminated areas); this figure is a total causal death toll prediction, combining the deaths of approximately 50 emergency workers who died soon after the accident from acute radiation syndrome, 15 children who have died of thyroid cancer and a future predicted total of 3935 deaths from radiation-induced cancer and leukaemia
China and India are main contributors to increase emissions in 2010s. While the Western world actually stabilized emissions, the emissions from these two skyrocketed due to economic boom.
There is a difference between a particular conspiracy theory and conspiracies as a class of human activity.
By definition any particular conspiracy theory is something you believe in without scientific basis (fact nitpicking, and all kinds of other logical fallacies). It does not matter if it becomes true or not later on. The problem is an approach to such kind of thing. So any guy who believes in a particular conspiracy theory is either an imbecile or crazy.
From the other hand there are plenty of people who reject even existence conspiracies and if you are generally accusing the government of conspiring something vague you are labeled a conspiracy nut.
No. Government and organizations ALWAYS have some private agenda, not disclosed to the public for very good reasons. Call them conspiracies, secret plans, necessary evil, etc, but activities like that always existed and will exist
Denying existence of them as class is plain stupid.
It's just since in 99% of the cases we will be never getting evidence verifying or falsifying evidence it does not make sense to discuss specific theories. We just need to live in ignorance while taking generally cautious about government.
Just a small anecdote: I was banned from science subreddit for posting that we all originated from Africa for "mild racism" (I was defending Watson, the discoverer of DNA structure, from excessively harsh overreaction from CSHL).
The SJW progression of intolerance to scientific statements (I am not even speaking about scientific hypotheses, I am talking about confirmed scientific theories) has no limits

All weakest charges. Trump's buddies were trying to conceal morally shady contacts, but they were not trying to conceal anything illegal. Foreign organizations meddle into affairs all the time. USA does this all over the world. Israel does this to US.
Charging somebody with lying to authorities is lowliest pettiest government tool when they do not have enough evidence on the crux of the matter: were or not Reps and Trump illegally colluding with Russians?

>Health care and women's education are the main factors that drove reproduction rates down, not stable governments or wealth
No, that was the reason of pre-war sharp decrease in births. The last one was because of the pill.

For reference: the pill was introduced in 1960.

Nitpicking
You do not have to partisan to see the bullshit of CNN. Political affiliation, selective facts, selective angles.
They are all the same ilk: from Fox News to CNN - unabashedly partisan pieces of shit
Because Americans are en masse stupid lazy entitled pieces of shit.
He was right about national bourgeoisie though, it always betrays the country for the stronger enemy. That's how Morsi was toppled in Egypt.
You will take NoScript and AdBlockPlus (or uBlock - names do not matter) from my cold dead hands, Microsoft.
>When your enemy tells you you're stupid and you should be doing something else, never do that
Good that you said that, very timely warning to Mozilla.
Seriously. LOL

Key word is "long-term". Investments are more about short term. In other words - completely different time scales.
That's just scientistic (from scientism, not scientific from science) version of Pascal's wager.

How?
You are a dumbass circlejerking moron

You are a blithering alarmist circle-jerking imbecile
From 1960 to now.
Have in mind that in 1950 we produced as much CO2 by burning as we breath out now.
>But unfortunately, not everyone who gets sick will be by choice. The vaccines aren't 100%, so some people may get sick even with immunization
If this happens, it happens.
from the other hand, I googled this:
> What percentage of the population should be vaccinated to avoid outbreaks?
>In order to prevent an outbreak, at least four out of those five people, or 80 percent of the population in general, should be immune
Interesting that 80% is just slightly above 77%.
The whole thing is about nothing. Let the people be.
